Scrubs Season 9, Episode 13: "Our Thanks" Review

Like many Scrubs titles, this one had a double-meaning. The main plotline centered around the year-end ceremony where medical students thanked the families of the dead relatives that served as their teaching tools. And if this was, in fact, the final episode of Scrubs' 9-season run, then it also served to thank everyone for making it such a success.

Of course, the pink elephant in the room is the fact that this wasn't the series finale - that happened last year with J.D.'s emotional walk down Sacred Heart's hallway, reminiscing about the people he'd met (dead or alive) and finished up with a behind-the-scenes farewell to the cast and crew, including creator Bill Lawrence. So even though this may have been the official "final" episode, there will always be an asterisk next to it. I applaud the show for understanding this awkward situation and not trying to compete with last season's heart-tugging finale, but it still could've been funnier. Things were left open to the possibility for continuation next season, but we'll have to wait and see.
